Wandering Ghosts
by A.F. Stewart

Can you hear the whispers, underneath
eternal oblivion, searing the ragged edges?
Glimpses, flashes, see the long road of spirits,
brushing the grace silhouette of damnation
and the fae-bound soul of the wilding moor
Say a prayer
past the gloaming light

Can you hear the voices beside you,
echoed footsteps over weathered stone?
Waking shivers as they speak your name,
casting flagrant, fairweather sins to dance
among the shadow cursed fields of heather
Say a prayer  
past the gloaming light

Can you hear the whispers swirling ‘round
weaving spectral secrets in pale perdition,
where the shattered bones are buried deep
below the wailing wind and fragrant grass,
in the sacred ground of the wilding moor
Say a prayer  
past the gloaming light
